Bihar during Mughal rule – History of Bihar
The Afghans under whose control Bihar remained after Sher Shah include the names of Taj Khan Qarrani, Suleman Khan Qarrani and Dawood Khan Qarrani.
Suleiman's Kararani expanded the kingdom during his reign (1565 to 1572 AD) and occupied some parts of Orissa. He took a respectful attitude towards Akbar. But his son Dawood displayed arrogant behavior towards Akbar. As a result, the Mughal emperor Akbar himself came to Bihar and attacked his kingdom and captured Patna in 1574 AD and also defeated the king of Mithila.
In about 1580 AD, Bihar was declared a province of the Mughal Empire. David fled from the city. Akbar appointed Raja Mansingh as the governor of Bihar, who strengthened the Mughals here during 1587 to 95 AD.
Man Singh made Rohtash his capital. During the reign of Jahangir, the Khokhra country Chhotanagpur region (Jharkhand) became the possession of the Mughals.
Jahangir appointed Prince Pervez as the Provincial of Bihar in 1621 AD. In 1702 AD, during the reign of Aurangzeb, his son Prince Azim was appointed as the Subedar of Bihar. When Murshid Quli Khan formed an independent state in Bengal in 1704 AD, Bihar came under his control.
After the death of Aurangzeb, Bahadur Shah was the Mughal ruler from 1707 to 1712 AD. In 1711 AD, Furksheer came to Bihar from Bengal. Frurkhsiyar was the first Mughal emperor who was coronated in Patna, Bihar (in 1773 AD). After that in the battle of Agra, he defeated Bahadar Saha and took control of the Mughal rule.
The reign of Frukhsiyar lasted from 1712 to 1719 AD. The Nawab of Bengal took the direct seat of Bihar, Bengal and Orissa by 1733 AD. This situation continued till the establishment of British power. Despite this, a Deputy Nawab or Nayak Nazim was appointed to run the administration in the region of Bihar.
After the fall of the Mughal Empire, Afghan revolts started in the region of Bihar. Alivardi Khan made Zainuddin Hebatzag the Upnawab in Bihar to handle the situation.
The Afghans killed Hebatjung in 1748 AD. Angered by this, Alivardi himself quelled the rebellion by crushing the Afghans in the battles of Ranisarai and Patna. After the death of Ali Vardi Khan, his grandson Siraj-ud-daula became the Nawab of Bengal in 1756.
He disagreed with the British on the issue of misuse of commercial facilities. As a result, the Battle of Plassey took place between Siraj-ud-Daulah and the British in June 1757, in which Siraj-ud-Daulah was defeated and later killed. After this Mir Jafar became the new Nawab of Bengal. At this time the British rule started in this area.
